UKA Master Class Competition Winner!
I had some pretty exciting news yesterday (it makes a change from the usual training blog entries anyway!). A while ago, I entered an online competition with UK Athletics for a training master class with top Team GB Olympians, coaches, physiotherapists and nutritionist and for some unknown reason I actually managed to win!
So, a week tomorrow I will be shooting down the motorway to the state of the art training facilities that Team GB use at Loughborough University to have an entire days worth of coaching from amongst other people; Olympic finalist hurdler William Sharman and Olympic finalist high jumper Tom Parsons! I haven’t had many other details about the day as of yet and really have no idea what the day is going to entail, but from the hurried emails that I managed to send off at five minutes to 5pm yesterday the day is going to completely change everything that I think I know about running! Apparently, the Olympians, coaches and support staff are going to analyse every part of my running and give me shed loads of advice about how to improve both my running, overall fitness, sport specific drills and nutrition. And also thrown into the mix is half a day’s strength and endurance coaching which I expect is going to be both on the high tech track and the gyms that they have at the Loughborough National High Performance Athletics Centre so I am going to be shattered by the end of the day!

Have a great time on the trip. Looking forward to hearing about the training and coaching when you get back.
I enjoy reading your running blog.

Ross! Wow! How incredible is that? You’ve got to be on cloud nine right now!
I can’t wait to hear more about the experience and everything you learn while at the training facility. Make sure to come back here and give the rest of us poor slobs any and all advice you receive
